Hobart Wine tasting/Craft beer/Whiskey/Cider/Gin tour [Aug 18/19 2018]

[Tassieoptom]

Hi Everybody,

Sorry I've off offline for (quite) a while, so I've totally missed this thread. I'll be flying back in Hobart on Friday, so I'm available to join in the festivities if there are any places still available. Thanks Steady for the heads up.

Cheers,
DB

Definitely can, will you be doing dinner too?

I have been unable to speak directly to a human at Frogmore City today, but have emailed a request to them to increase the booking numbers. I will let you and Rooflyer know when I receive a reply.

Just saw this now. Tempted to go for Saturday night but I gotta pick some someone at SYD airport Sunday AM Hope there’s another wine or gin tour in the future.

Just got this email back from The Lounge, so @Delectable Blue and @RooFlyer there are places for you at dinner.

"Absolutely, I have increased your reservation from 6-8 people on Saturday night August 18th at The Lounge Restaurant by Frogmore Creek. We look forward to having you on Saturday night!

Does that mean an early flight out on Sunday? Or an evening flight out Saturday?

In true @penegal style, I can't get into HBA on Friday night unless I fly private, so that is probably overkill.

So copper is tending to Bronze.

However dinner at The Lounge by Frogmore Creek could be fun, although dangerous.

I have to check my options out tonight, I’ll be Penegal Bronze

Easy to add you to the tour, we have seats available, but dinner is ok at 8 i will have to try my luck at 9 or 10.

 

[RooFlyer]

Confirm me for dinner. It will be Shirly Temples for me though as I'll be driving home.

BTW it's whiskey week here.

Excellent, that's great news. Thanks Tassieoptom!

It would be great if you could make it, but I understand that prior commitments are difficult to break. I'll shout them a cab fare if that helps.

Hobart forecast. Click on 'Hobart' if you dare! Snow down to 500m on the mountain

 

[Tassieoptom]

Hi all, I may be in Hobart on Saturday and be able to make the trip. Not sure if I will be able to make dinner though. Will confirm later in the week. Cheers.

@Sulzerman any word on this Saturday? Sorry seem to have missed your comment and failed to send an earlier reminder.

 

[Tassieoptom]

To all Platinum, Gold and Bronze attendees a housekeeping note. To make the required tour at Sullivan’s cove we will aim to depart Gasworks at 11.30am. That gives an early wine tasting at the gasworks cellar as they open at 11.00am. Sorry for any miscommunication. It also gives us more chance of a Pooley tasting after lunch, which then puts Gin o’clock at Society back to 4.30pm. Hope this is all ok.

Do we have a meeting time and place sorted out? Sorry if I've missed that information somewhere in the previous posts.

11.00am to 11.30am At Gasworks Village in Hobart City, is next to the Grand Chancellor. 11.00am you can have tasting at Gasworks Cellar Door, view to leave by 11.30am. Our first stop is very close.

 

[Viridianne]

Sorry guys the flights are horrendous.
I’ll keep an eye out for future touring.
I’ll do a proper HBA trip so I can check out MONA as well

 

[Tassieoptom]

The meeting point is at the gasworks village. Tastings at Gasworks cellar door from 11.00am. Bus pick up in car park ready to leave by 11.30am.

Google maps seems to have the cellar door incorrectly marked at the hogs breath site. Doorway and entrance is shown.
